University of Kentucky, Louisville ban hundreds of words from athletes' tweets | The Courier-Journal | courier-journal.com

University of Kentucky, Louisville ban hundreds of words from athletes' tweets | The Courier-Journal | courier-journal.com: "As a condition of participating in sports, the schools require athletes to agree to monitoring software being placed on their social media accounts. This software emails alerts to coaches whenever athletes use a word that could embarrass the student, the university or tarnish their images on services such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and MySpace.

 The University of Louisville flags 406 words or slang expressions that have to do with drugs, sex, or alcohol. The University of Kentucky flags a similar number, of which 370 are sports agents’ names."
